I saw this at London Film Festival and it blew me away. It tells the story of Lia, a girl growing up in a rural village in 1960's Sicily who gets into a relationship with a boy who turns out to be very bad, and, to make things worse, he is a member of the local monster family. It is the story of her fight for her honour, justice and future.
The performance by Claudio Gusmano as Lia is outstanding, and the cast overall is top notch. The film is beautifully shot, the story telling is top notch, and, as it is a true story, the story is important, and resonates with events now.
All in all, well worth seeing.
